About Honey Bee Nutrition
As generalists who rely entirely on blooming plants for their diet, honey bees are well adapted to utilize the best available resources in their range (which is often several miles). This makes them excellent candidates to provide pollination services. As with other livestock, when the environmental resources are not sufficient, beekeepers may provide supplemental nutrition. The study of natural forage systems and developing optimal supplements for bees are both relevant concerns to maintain sustainable, flourishing colonies of honey bees.
